Content

In this unit participatory studio-based experience informed by aesthetic and critical debate in diverse social and cultural contexts will enable students to further enhance their reflective practice in their arts specialism. Students undertake research projects in their arts specialism that may include: a practical arts teaching project; a project based in an educational setting other than a school; an action research project designed to improve teaching or solve a problem; or a review of literature on a particular issue related to the arts.
